South Africa’s telecommunications regulator, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa, plans to investigate prices charged by digital media and communications service providers including Netflix Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc.'s WhatsApp. The probe will assess the cost of over-the-top services to consumers. A separate inquiry will also be initiated into the cost of telecommunications services, which may impact major firms like MTN Group Ltd., Vodacom Group Ltd., Telkom SA SOC Ltd., and Cell C Holdings Ltd.
